78. К пресвитеру Роману 50

It is completely in your own way, completely in the character of your great, lofty and philosophical spirit, that even amid the adversity of so many unfavorable circumstances, you have not forgotten our love, but still adamantly and unflaggingly maintain your friendship for us. I learned this positively from those who arrived from there; but I was sure of it even before I heard it from others. I know the strength and constancy of your soul, the strength and immutability of your way of thinking. Therefore, bringing great gratitude to your reverence, I implore your reverence and ask, as the greatest mercy, to constantly write to us as much as possible. You understand how comforting it is for us, living in a foreign country, to receive letters with joyful news about your health. We all the more ardently wish your reverence prosperity and health, since your health serves as a support, refuge, protection for many, and is the guarantee of an innumerable number of great deeds. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” According to the Vatican Code: “to the presbyter monk Romanus” You might be interested in:
